Being in this band for the past 12 years has
been a true blessing. We've gotten to go places we never knew we would. We've
been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible. We've shared
the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our
friends. And now, like all great things, it has come time for it to end. Thanks
for all of your support, and for being part of the adventure.

It’s sad to see a band that saved my life call it quits with
no real explanation except “it was fun while it lasted.” Yes, I am a little angry but mostly hurt (for a million different reasons).
If this were a breakup (relationship), I would surely demand
a better explanation. Where did the love go? Did they just fall out of love
with the idea of the band? Or with what they were doing? Do they want different
things? Whatever the reason, they don’t seem to be leaving any indication that
they may be back one day. No signs as to what next… Just: the end, goodbye. I guess
this isn’t between me and them, so they don’t owe me that sort of explanation…
But it feels cold and distant. And that breaks my heart.
Granted the last album was not as glorious as its predecessors,
I honestly believed they would come back with fifth album to redeem themselves. I
was behind them patiently waiting and hoping for that. I remained a devoted fan, sure that great things were to come. And while I hoped for better things ultimately they decided that they had done
enough. So maybe the better things to
come that I had expected will just be in different forms than what I had anticipated.
I am saddened by the news. Let down almost by the lack of explanation. Not that they owe me any. But in the end, I still love them, I can never thank for them for all that they did for me (and will continue to do). And that’s probably why this hurts so much. This band saved my life, they will forever have a place in my heart, and I wish them all the very best in the future.
I assume Gerard will probably delve deeper into comics;
Frank will probably continue with music in some way (as he had side bands along the
way). Not sure what Mikey and Ray will do. But I hope, no matter what they all end
up doing, that they will continue to inspire. They affected the lives of many and
saved more people than they are probably even aware. And for that they will be
missed.
Farewell My Chemical Romance. Thanks for all you got me
through.
So long and goodnight <3>
